I think you can be polite and combative at the same time.

Ever heard the phrase “ smiling assassin “?

I've had people call me that, although the emphasis wasn't on the smiling part.

    Julius Caesar didn’t see his assassins smiling either. Mainly because Brutus and most of the brave boys, stabbed him in the back.

    I'm not that clever, you'll see it coming.

    What's the problem with that Red?

    It seems quite logical to me. If you need to stab someone, do it in the back. It's certainly safer for the stabber, not so much for the stabbee, and I'm sure quite effective. Plus it's sneaky.

    The question is: why so long between 'drinks'?

    Does anyone think that May might kick out to his right at all this year?

    Hopefully the long bomb to the left forward pocket, where we have one key forward against three tall defenders, is off the menu.

    With Tom and Benny fit and firing and with JVR hopefully getting his chance and Max or Brody, we have options.

    I'm looking forward generally to what new elements there might be in our ball movement. Ours is - or at least has the capacity to be - the fastest, most skilled, most disciplined squad.

    Meanwhile, to your opening query, he'd probably end up doing - you guessed it! - a banana, that accordingly still ended up out to the left.

    Machiavelli tells a wonderful story of an Italian prince who conquered a new territory, essentially adding a city-state to his realm. To establish order and root out the corruption that was his pretext for an 'invited' conquest, he sent an absolute hardened b-stard to overzealously crush everyone who was even vaguely suspected. When the locals started arcing up about things going to far, the Prince used this agent as a scapegoat, and arranged to have him assassinated, body cut in half and dumped in the middle of the town square, thereby both 'satisfying and stupefying' the populace, because they got what they wanted but... Mio Dio! Quello è selvaggio!

    Now, that is how you stab someone in the back.

    Also an example of a surprising historical fact; you're much more likely to be stabbed in the back/assassinated/betrayed and so forth by someone more senior to you who fears your ambition, than by someone beneath you trying to climb.

    Of course, this is all in the old days before the invention of the banana smoothie brought peace to the world.

    I know there's a debate to whether our game plan has been worked out or not but this aspect of it really has. Opposition coaching  for this moment was in full effect late last season, studying the fall of the ball and how to position for this moment. We need a more varied ball movement strategy.

    Turns out Melksy and Harmesy are girls. Langers and Fritta are boys. The No-Roosters Council bylaw applies purely for noise disturbance reasons. In case we ended up with any boys, my son and I chose this particular breed of bantam based on the fact that they have the quietest cockcrow, so hopefully little Langers (the self-appointed alpha) won’t trouble anyone and we get to keep him.  🤞🏼 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Well WCW you will be reassured to know that your Uncle Bitter cares and (as usual) is prepared to help out.

    I have an excellent spit at The Manor so... if required... Langers and Fritter could "serve" a higher purpose -  ie being "served" at  The Manor.

    Please don't accuse me of Insensitivity - I'm just trying to help out.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
